    The lines are called rhumb lines (lines of constant magnetic bearing). They were used on navigation charts such as portolan charts.

    Thanks you Waldronate for this enlightenment.

    I have updated the map, adding the compass rose and moving lines (so long to correspond with the compass, The Gimp is not very precise).

    Very nice, about all I can say is that it's a tad green...maybe a bit more red needed to make it look more like parchment (if you were indeed going for parchment). Otherwise, it looks very good, so kudos.

    Hi everybody.

    I finally found a way to represent the mountains on my map. I need know to think about the trees and the cities.

    My only hope is I will not wait for one year to find the key of the problem.
